You deserve better, Flo,
you know it deep in your soul, but it is hard to face.
Part with him while you can still do it amicably.
Tell him that you could still be friends. ( I always hated that phrase.)

That's my plan, too! Right now I'm only going to WW for emotional support. I haven't told my leader or the weigh in gals that I'm eating MF. I don't think they really care what I'm eating. I did figure up some of the points values for the MF foods. If I were following WW I would be way under the points range. I miss having the 35 points/wk. too. If I had know anything about carbs I might have been able to figure out that I was eating way too many of them! If you were to look at my food journal (pre MF) you would see lots of bread, bagels, etc. This program is helping me to change my eating habits and become more aware of food as sustenance instead of food as an 'answer to something'. That reminds me of a quote I read once, "If hunger is not the problem, food is not the answer." I love that!

Just a quick post before I head to bed....

Flo- CONGRATS on ONEderland!!! YOu go girl!!!! Second...you know what to do, you know what advice you'd give to a girlfriend in the same situation.

MF should arrive tomorrow. I'm all geared up for starting on Wed. maybe Thurs.

Flo, it sounds like he is not making your life any easier and that would be the only reason to keep a "friend" around. If I had someone staying at my house that helped with childcare, laundry, cooking, cleaning then it might be worth the expense but you are getting zero benefit and he is getting all of the benefits. What would you tell you sister or friend to do??

How does onederland feel??? Keep it up! Can you imagine what 175 will feel like??? Amazing!

Now, about the cr of brocc soup, yuck. Any ideas?? And, the chai? I thought about mixing the hot chocoalte and chai together to see if that improves the chai. Anyone know if you can send back the free week stuff for different, I am guessing not.

Have a great MF ing day everyone! :hug:

Borders: My goal is to loose 60 pounds by June also (my daughter's second Bday)! We can do this together and keep each other accountable!!! When i go to my Medifast center in TX they told me that the average weight loss is about 3 pounds a week so... It is way feasible ;)

Carol: Thanks girl! I was wondering if you could post your recipe for the food that you take on the road... I can't quite remember what the name in English for it is... it is not cupcakes but kind of look like it... Sorry i am having a french moment ;)

Kim: Thanks for the welcome ;) I am gonna check your recipe... I have a spaghetti squash in the fridge and do not know what to do with it...

Well anyway the diet is still going strong... just working on my personal life... sometime i wish someone could make the decisions for me...

Flo, that sounds great. I am waiting for my kit to come. Hopefully, it will be here today. I am going to the health food store to see if I can get some flavor drops and stuff today. I am also going to get my meats and veggies for the L& G meals just in case it comes today. I can start.

Flo, let go of that situation now while you can. You are reaping no benefits being in a "relationship" with this guy. Do what you have to do. Be friends with him and let him still actively participate with your daughter if they have developed a bond so to speak but that is it.

Okay...I went to the Capella website and just ordered some drops. Not sure who suggested it but thanks for the link.

Thank you ladies! This is how i have been feeling... I just needed some reinforcement and some unbiased opinion.... Sometime it is hard to make up your mind when you are directly involved in it... Thanks for listening and advising me!!!
I will break off the news to him this week end as i will have time to really talk to him and help him pack all his stuff...

On another note, I had smoked salmon last night... And even though i loved eating it, i would not recommend it to anyone trying to lose weight because of the amount of fat and all that salt... I feel all bloated today!!! I read on a post on the mymedifast website that you could have that... but i think they were wrong!!!

MY order came!!!!!
 

MY 2 week order came. I am sooooo excited as tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life literally! I am going to look through everything when the kiddos go to bed or at least the toddler. I need to look through the recipes so I don't get bored.

50 lb weigh lost here I come!!!! WATCH OUT NEW ME!!!:carrot:

I even like the blueberry oatmeal! It is filling, that is good!!

Good luck Borders, don't forget to get it all in!

PS Flo, good luck. Maybe you should have a friend there??

Flo, you Know what to do. Don't let anyone stand in the way of your happiness. Sounds like you know you need to move on to better things. I'm here for ya:hug:

My order arrived!! Woohoo!! I can't remember who suggested packing a bag for each day, but that makes it soooo less overwhelming!!! THANK YOU!!!! I have bags packed through Saturday. WIsh me luck ladies!

I don't know about the smoked salmon, but I eat grilled salmon several times a week and I don't think it's slowed me down. I prefer the salmon to chicken when eating out because restaurant chicken is usually so dry.

Hello all,
Oh Flo sweetie, patience is not a virtue sometimes. I agree with everyone else.... You've been too nice and too patient.

Good news borders and Hope!! Remember, your tastes will adjust. I actually said YUM when I ate my oatmeal this morning. Weird!

I've been struggling today with major cravings. My husband and I take turns cooking and I finally figured out that my cravings coincide with my days to cook. That's good information to have.

Does anyone know how to cook Portobella Mushrooms? I tried to cook them in a frying pan with a dash of Pam, but they didn't taste very good...

Have a good Wednesday MFers!
